Series A preferred stock

On March 24, 2009, Optex Systems Holdings filed a Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware authorizing a series of preferred stock, under its articles of incorporation, known as “Series A preferred stock”. This Certificate of Designation was approved by Optex Systems Holdings’ Board of Directors and Shareholders at a Board Meeting and Shareholders Meeting held on February 25, 2009. The Certificate of Designation sets forth the following terms for the Series A preferred stock: (i) number of authorized shares: 1,027; (ii) per share stated value: $6,000; (iii) liquidation preference per share: stated value; (iv) conversion price: $0.15 per share as adjusted from time to time; and (v) voting rights: votes along with the common stock on an as converted basis with one vote per share.

The Series A preferred stock entitles the holders to receive cumulative dividends at the rate of 6% per annum, payable in cash at the discretion of Board of Directors. Accumulated unpaid dividends accrue and cumulate dividends at the annual rate of 6%. Each share of preferred stock is immediately convertible into common shares at the option of the holder which entitles the holder to receive the equivalent number of common shares equal to the stated value of the preferred shares divided by the conversion price, which was initially set at $0.15 per share.

Holders of preferred shares receive preferential rights in the event of liquidation. Additionally the preferred stock shareholders are entitled to vote together with the common stock on an “as-converted” basis.

As of the three and nine months ended July 3, 2011, Optex Systems Holdings recorded preferred dividends payable of $104 and $307 thousand, respectively, and as of the three and nine months ended June 27, 2010, Optex Systems Holdings recorded preferred dividends payable of $98 and $290 thousand of dividends, respectively. As of July 3, 2011 there was a total of $884 thousand of dividends in arrears on the preferred shares. The preferred shareholders have agreed to waive the past dividends in exchange for an increase in the stated value to $6,830.64, as well as waiving future dividends.

On April 14, 2011, pursuant to a Written Consent in Lieu of a Meeting of Shareholders, Sileas Corporation, holder of approximately 73.3% of the Company’s Common Stock, approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of its Common Stock from 200,000,000 to 2,000,000,000. This Written Consent is the subject of a Schedule 14C Information Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 18, 2011, which is currently pending.

On April 14, 2011 Optex filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 which provides for the sale of up to 25,000,000 shares of our common stock at a fixed price (currently anticipated to be $0.01 per share), which will trigger the ratchet provision of the Series A preferred stock and reduce the conversion price to $.01 per share. The S-1 also contemplates a reduction in the warrant exercise price to $0.01 per share for the 2009 private placement investors and a waiver of accrued dividends from the Series A preferred shareholders. The Registration Statement on Form S-1 is currently in the review process with the Commission

(Delaware) common stock to Arland Holdings, Ltd. There was no contingent consideration associated with the purchase. Longview and Arland Holdings, Ltd. both owned Optex Systems, Inc.
